Our Sanitation Team can be seen in both the residential and business sector of our City collecting residential garbage, residential yard debris, and commercial garbage. We navigate the entire city limits every week collecting and transporting the City’s refuse. If you have questions or concerns about trash pickup or recycling, please contact the Public Services Department at (803) 436-2558.
Commercial Garbage
We have a four (4) man/four (4) truck team that works the commercial routes five (5) days a week and one (1) man/one (1) truck working the Saturday route averaging 210 tons of commercial solid waste every week. We offer two (2) dumpster sizes — a four (4) cubic yard dumpster and an either (8) cubic yard dumpster — and offer pickup as many as six (6) times a week for a fee which is added to the water bill associated with the business. We also offer 90 gallon carts to commercial businesses that cannot accommodate a dumpster, which is also added to the water bill.
Commercial Cardboard Recycling Service
Commercial cardboard dumpster recycling service is provided to local businesses inside the City limits at no cost if the patrons have a sanitation service account. This includes any businesses such as retail stores, warehouses, offices, and restaurants that have cardboard waste.
Service is performed on Mondays and Thursdays only. Commercial customers can choose for pick up once or twice a week. No other day is negotiable for cardboard service. The City provides one dumpster free of charge, but additional dumpsters are available by request at a monthly fee of $40 per dumpster and limited to four (4) dumpsters per business.
We also provide, by request, cardboard dumpster service for businesses that do not have a sanitation service account for a monthly fee of $40 per dumpster.
